Moreover, thoseProvinces are all distinct duchies, counties, seignories, governed bytheir own magistrates, laws, and ordinances; each by itself, without anyauthority or command to be exercised by one Province over another. Tothis end they have need of a supreme power and of one sovereign prince orseignor, who may command all equally, having a constant regard to thepublic weal--considered as a generality, and not with regard to theprofit of the one or the other individual Province--and, causing ...promptlyand universally to be executed such ordinances as may be made in thematter of war or police, according to various emergencies. Each Province, on the contrary, retaining its sovereignty over its own inhabitants, obedience will not be so promptly and completely rendered to the commandsof the lieutenant-general of your Majesty, and many, a good enterpriseand opportunity, will be lost.
